...Jae‐bok Lee; Jun Zou; Mo Li; Sughun Chang Purpose A fast algorithm is proposed to calculate the lightning electromagnetic field over a perfectly conducting earth surface. Design/methodology/approach The channel base current is approximated by a number of sub‐domain quadratic functions using...

...Ivan Yatchev; Rumena Stancheva; Iliana Marinova; Vesna Javor Purpose The purpose of this paper is to present a new function for approximating lightning channel‐base currents which is useful in return stroke modelling and for calculating lightning electromagnetic fields and induced effects...

...Sławomir Wiak; Ewa Napieralska‐Juszczak; Nassima M'ziou; Leila Mokhnache; Ahmed Boubakeur; Zineddine Azzouz; Rafic Kattan Purpose The purpose of this paper is to propose a numerical method in time domain in order to solve the electric and magnetic fields radiated from lightning in the presence...

...Oszkár Bíró David A. Lowther; Piergiorgio Alotto; Pieter Jacqmaer; Johan Driesen; Christophe Geuzaine Purpose The purpose of this paper is to present a method to model earthing systems subjected to lightning strikes with a one‐dimensional moment method. This paper was conducted because an accurate...

...Wang Xiaohui; Zhang Xiaoqing; Yang Dasheng Purpose The purpose of this paper is to propose an efficient algorithm for computing the transient responses on wind turbine (WT) towers struck by lightning. Design/methodology/approach The tower is modeled as an electric network and a set of formulas...
